He prefers NanoClaw (~4,000 lines, "manageable, auditable, flexible") and lists alternatives: nanobot, zeroclaw, ironclaw, picoclaw. When the person who coined "vibe coding" warns that vibe-coded software is a security nightmare, that carries extraordinary weight. The lobster emoji is solidifying as the category's informal identifier. Karpathy on X | Willison's amplification
